Rated Pramipexole for Restless Legs Syndrome Report

Restless leg syndrome seems to run in my family. My sister tried this medication and has never looked back, my dad asked his dr if he could try it and he also has never looked back. So it was my turn, I asked my dr and she was fine about prescribing it as it's not only for Parkinson's desease it's been used for restless leg syndrome and results have been good. Well I was absolutely astonished! It worked and I sleep all night and feel great the next day, first in a long time!

Rated Pramipexole for Parkinson's Disease Report

Was doagnosed with Parkinson's Disease about 3 months ago. My symptoms were extreme fatigue, leg muscle weakness and depression. Also take Sinemet-started prior to Mirapex. Began feeling better. I started Mirapex 6 weeks ago-feel better than I have in years! My two side effects are weight loss-which is not a problem! And insomnia. I wake up feeling very alert between 3-4am. I go into work early and leave early. Take an afternoon nap sometimes-sleep soundly for about 1 hour and wake up feeling great.

I take half of a 50 miligram pill each night before I go to bed. Sometimes, I have to take a second dose. If I do any walking at all, I have to take a second dose for sure. I need to ask my doctor to up my dose, because I still have some problems with my legs. My step mom has restless leg syndrome, too, and she tried pramipexole. She said that it didnot work for her. I like it.

FOR RLS BEEN TAKING MIRAPEX SINCE 1995 UNTIL 2012 WHEN GENERIC PRAMIPEXOLE WAS GIVEN BY HOSPITAL PHARMACY> ONLY THING THAT WORKS,. TWICE A DAY .5 MG was limit doctor would allow. Also have to take Vicodin some months a few days if severe arhistis becomes really bad. the two do not seem to add any unusual distaress to my body or create an issue. Since 1995, I do get fasting blood test every three to four months to confirm no liver or kidney damage due to also taking Lipitor and Benicar and see what my sugar and other levels are. This is a great relief form the RESTLESS LEGS that would keep me awake when I laid down day or night.

I have been taking Mirapex for several years and it's the only medication that has helped me. I take 0.5mg four times a day since I have a severe case of RLS. It does not mix well with Tylenol PM but otherwise I have had no ill effects.
I would like to know when the generic form will be available for public use.
